OverviewBuild a legal career in one of the hottest 21st century employment areas! In his 21st Century Legal Career Series, Richard L. Hermann researches, evaluates, and predicts where the employment opportunities are and will be for law graduates. Volume 13, Tricks of the Trade (and Professional) Associations: A Huge Hidden Legal Job Market, examines the largely under the radar legal career opportunities in the 95,000 U.S. trade and professional associations. Formed as non-profits, they defy the typical image of what comes to mind when legal job-seekers hear that term. Rather than a struggling advocacy or public interest organization with its hand out, begging for donations and paying its staff peanuts, Hermann counters these associations share four features that should be of interest to every attorney: 1.They have substantial assets (more than $2 trillion in the aggregate); 2.They employ tens of thousands of attorneys; 3.You can find these attorneys in places other than just the in-house counsel office; and 4.They are corporations. Consequently, they share many of the structural features of their for-profit counterparts. Lawyers who work for their in-house counsel offices have many of the same responsibilities as their commercial company brethren. Their legal responsibilities mirror those of for-profit corporations quite closely, the major exception being that they do not practice securities law. And, like their commercial counterparts, associations hire lawyers for a wide variety of JD Advantage jobs. Tricks of the Trade delves into all this and more. Highlights include: -An Association Primer -Why Is the Association Job Market Hot? -Where Do Lawyers Work in Associations? -Selected JD Advantage Job Titles Full Product DetailsAuthor: Richard L HermannPublisher: H Watson LLC Imprint: H Watson LLC Volume: 13 Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.40cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.109kg ISBN: 9781946228253ISBN 10: 1946228257 Pages: 72 Publication Date: 12 July 2017 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
